Festival of Turtles Saturday Night Social

Don’t you ever wish you could travel back to the Saturday night dance? Take a spin across a glassy floor, to a swinging live band under sparkling lights?

This Saturday night, you can! Join Dance Makers Collective and Lock Stock & Bingle in a solid evening of joyous dancing with your partners, family and friends.

This event, a spin-off of Dance Makers Collective’s 2020 Sydney Festival hit The Rivoli, takes inspiration from the peak dance hall and disco eras of the 1960s and 70s, reimagined for the modern lover of dancing.

Whether you have a dance partner, like a night out on the town, or have a boogie in your bedroom, The Saturday Night Social is the place for you!

TICKETS are $22 per person.
Buy tickets online by clicking the below button or in person at the TACC Office during opening hours (1pm to 4pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday).

Festival of Turtles Classical Music Concert Featuring “Kurrajong Ensemble”
May

6:30 pm18:30

Festival of Turtles Classical Music Concert Featuring “Kurrajong Ensemble”

Kurrajong Ensemble will present a varied programme of music from the 18th century to the present day.

For the C18th music Fran and Keith will be using flutes which are exact replicas of the instruments used at the time and have an entirely different sound from modern instruments. The difference between the modern instruments and the C18th ones is enormous - most people who play one don't also play the other, because of the big differences in both technique and musical gesture required … Fran and Keith were among the pioneers of this in Australia.

The salon music of the C19th provides some beautifully crafted repertoire from a time when most people played an instrument and would play together as recreation. This music is deceptively easy-listening on one level but surprisingly well crafted, fun to play, and sometimes flashy. Fran has composed some new works for Kurrajong Ensemble and we will present at least one of these in the concert.

The TACC Bar will be open to purchase drinks from 6:30pm and during intermission. Light nibbles will be provided during intermission.

Tickets: Adults $25pp Students $5 pp

Have you ever found yourself supporting a customer, client, friend, family member, colleague or even a stranger who is experiencing distress or a crisis, and you aren’t sure what to say?
